This is an original abstract painting on a gallery wrapped canvas. There are more than ten layers of acrylic paint, glazes and washes which give the piece depth and interest. A bit of gold metallic paint adds a little sparkle.

Karen Hale has been a professional artist for over 45 years. Her father was a commercial artist and furniture maker who encouraged her creativity at an early age. Once married, she began to make and sell crafts to help put her husband through college. A temporary job led to a fulfilling lifetime profession. Karen developed a fascination with materials and has worked in many different media throughout her career, including textiles, jewelry, collage, and photography. She now focuses on creating dynamic mixed media paintings. Her style presents varying degrees of abstraction. The discerning viewer can decipher a blurred flower or a hazy horizon line while meditating on Karen’s soothing color palette.

i just love your work- when I look thru this site- and I do many times, i end up picking out your paintings without seeing the artist name-
your paintings seem to connect to me- i paint also- but haven't shown anything- thank you for your sharing your gift-
